People have different ways of browsing. Some go on a completely linear path, some keep a few linear paths. I tend to have 10-20 windows open and jump around as haphazardly as a gopher on a hot plate. Your internet usage patterns says a lot about your attention, your productivity, and where your mind has…

Scorecard: 40 emails sent, 4 meetings, 2 job offers, 4 friends visited, 1 bagel, 0 black-and-whites. I blog this from the New York Public Library in the reading room, which showcases Manhattan’s special brand of quiet – a dull, echoey humm of footsteps, rustling, and whispering that is akin to rock concert played on tinny…

Man, the postal system is suh-weet! You’ll be thinking that too after checking out this map! Click on the map and type in a zip code, and as you enter more digits it will highlight all the zip codes that begin with the numbers you typed. It’s a lot of fun! For more country-quantizing fun,…
